Arched eyebrows are becoming a regular thing among economic experts who forecast the future of the economy. At least this time they got the sign right. Experts were predicting an 8% rise in May. It turns out that retail sales jumped 17.7%, more than double the experts’ estimates. This is the largest one-month increase in the history of the country.
Once again the experts found themselves out of the ballpark when it came to predicting the state of manufacturing in America. Arched eyebrows are becoming “the thing” among economic experts. These numbers will give Nobel laureate Paul Krugman another opportunity to suggest that the numbers are fake.
After three months of broad weakness brought on by COVID-19 business shutdowns/slowdowns, the Manufacturing Index surged 48 points to a reading of negative 0.2 up from negative 48.5 in May.

According to Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), there was no violence in Washington, DC last week. Jim Clyburn, who is now the architect of Joe Biden’s campaign, went on Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto’s show to make such a non-sensical claim.

The May jobs report was expected to show job losses of 7 to 8 million. This was the analysis of the financial experts and Nobel laureate economists. Imagine their surprise when the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) announced that 2.5 million jobs have been ADDED to the economy. Never in the history of the country have we seen a turnaround like this from one month to the next.
In effect, there are 10 million more jobs at the end of May than the experts predicted. Never have the experts been off by anywhere near this much. Not only were they not in the same ballpark, they weren’t even on the same planet. Perhaps these experts were meth experts not math experts.
Some time back the prestigious British medical journal Lancet published a “study” that claimed there was increased mortality among patients taking the drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for the Wuhan virus. This was a stunning publication at the time.
HCQ is a commonly prescribed drug for a host of aliments. These include malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It is often prescribed as a prophylactic for people who are going to travel to areas where malaria might be present. Its side effects are well known and understood. It is an inherently safe drug for the vast majority of people.
Two weeks ago when people were protesting lockdowns in their respective state capitals, Hillary Clinton came out and labelled these people as “domestic terrorists.” These were regular citizens who were peacefully demanding their constitutional rights. They did not burn, loot, riot or commit mayhem. These were people who left the areas where they protested in better condition than before they arrived as they cleaned up after themselves.
Where is Hillary Clinton now? As of this writing, she has not labelled the rioters, looters and murderers who are rampaging through our cities as any kind of terrorist, domestic or otherwise. The same can be said for other Democratic elites. Apparently these rioters, looters, arsonists, etc. are just exercising their constitutional rights. Such people could not possibly be terrorists.
On Saturday the violent far left group, Antifa, foot soldiers for the Democratic Party, were identified by AG Bill Barr as the primary organizing group behind the riots, looting, murder and mayhem spreading across the country. Barr is not one to make statements like this unless he has definitive knowledge.
After the successful launch of the SpaceX rocket, PDJT gave a speech that addressed the riots going on around the country. This was no Obama speech where he apologizes to the looters and thugs who are vandalizing our cities and violently attacking anyone who disagrees with them.
